Why does workplace anxiety hold such power over your Monday, and what does Jesus actually say about it?

In this episode, Tom Nelson tackles what many are calling an anxiety epidemic with mental health professionals estimating one in four of us will face a serious mental health challenge. Many of us know the "Sunday Scaries" all too well: that creeping dread as the weekend winds down and Monday's workload looms. But Tom reveals a truth that changes everything: your anxiety isn't a personal failing to hide. It's something Jesus speaks directly into, with practical wisdom for your everyday work.

Drawing on Matthew 6:25–34, Philippians 4:4–7, and Isaiah 41:10, you'll discover why anxiety is not meant to control your work, your relationships or your body and how recognising its warning signs is the first step toward freedom from it.

You'll learn:

-How to recognise the tell-tale signs of rising anxiety before it takes hold of your work and relationships

-What fuels and fans workplace anxiety from organisational change to fear of loss

-Why Jesus's teaching to "not be anxious about tomorrow" is deeply practical, not merely spiritual

-Two simple, tested practices "walk it out" and "talk it out" for processing anxious thoughts in a healthy way

Your work doesn't have to be shaped by fear. As a beloved son or daughter of God, your identity was never meant to rest on what you accomplish it rests securely in whose you are.
